They have a lot of small items so it's a great place to go get a bunch of different things to try and split. They have some average things, like chicken, and some more adventurous things, like chicken heart. And if you don't like it, it's not an entire entree. Service was a bit slow the night I went, but I'd go again.
S and I have known about Hinotez, the sister restaurant to Yakyudori Yakitori, for quite some time but never took the time to check it out, mostly because we’ve heard that it isn’t as good. However, recently one of our friends wanted some late-night-ish (~10pm) Japanese food, and Yakyudori was really crowded and could not seat our group of six. The hostess directed us to Hinotez, and we thought well, might as well go try it out.
Interesting Breakfast. You don't get much chance to try a Japanese breakfast, so after reading some reviews on it. I was really excited to try their breakfast. It's really a fulfilling breakfast, that with $3 Basic Breakfast you get a miso soup, rice, tofu and some vegi and a small pack of seaweed, plus you could get refill for the soup and rice. I added the 3 minute egg and fried chicken, and altogether were a great breakfast to start off the day.
The 3 minute egg cooked just well that the egg flows smoothly into your mouth, and with the yummy broth, it was perfect to eat with the rice or alone.
My friend ordered the breakfast and added the mini grilled salmon. It was not "mini" at all, it was quite a big piece compare to our expectation. The salmon and fried chicken were just average.
However, compare to the normal pancakes, bacon and egg, it is definitely worth a try for a Japanese style breakfast.
